The _Tench_, is a great lover of large Red worms first dipt in Tar. As
also all sorts of Paste, made up with strong scented Oyls, or Tar, or a
Paste made up of Brown Bread, and Honey. He will bite too at a _Cad-worm_,
_Lob-worm_, _Flag-worm_, green _Gentle_, _Cadbait_, _Marsh-worm_,
or soft boil'd _Bread-grain_, &c.

The _Torcoth_, being before mentioned, I only let you know, that he is
only found, in the Pool _Linperis_ in _Carnarvon-shire_; and leave you
to the _Welchmens_ description, both of him and his Bait.

The _Trout_, is fattest, and in his prime in _May_, and is caught with
all sorts of Worms, especially _Brandlings_, commonly found in an Old
_Dung-hill_, _Cow-dung_, _Hogs-dung_, or _Tanners-bark_: Also with
Flies, Natural and Artificial, with young _Frogs_, _Menow_, _Marsh_,
_Dock_, or _Flag-worms_; all sorts of _Cadbait_, _Dors_, _Bobs_,
_Palmers_, _Gentles_, _Wasps_, _Hornets_, &c. and with the
